Update on stolen images (jfantasma) and an admonishment to some UHH'ers
Jan 29, 2014 13:52:00 #
At last count, 18 UHH users have found their images offered for sale by jfantasma - as being his own! Or in my case, posted to Facebook or instagram with his signature.
Most of the sites are now down. One site is still active, however, and has at least 3 for sale that belong to UHH'ers:
http://pixels.com/art/all/Jfantasma/all?page=1
I've contacted two bloggers, who had highlighted this person, and they have removed the interviews. Thanks to the UHH members who discovered those sites.
My admonishment is to those UHH'ers who felt it necessary to go off-topic and get into petty fighting and name calling. If ever a topic deserved respect, was it not this one??

The way the page is titled, I'll wager that they have an arrangement with NG to sell prints.

Yes. I meant when I click on an individual photo (as though I wanted to buy it) I get a "page cannot be found" error. So, I think, Pixels may be in the process of taking them off.
On other pages at Pixels, when you click on the image you are taken to an opportunity to buy with various options.

that's funny I won't apologize for calling him out for calling me names for no reason, especially since I didn't even address him to begin with. This poster has a history of this behavior and I won't let him bully me any longer.

So once again, Annie Girl, you choose someone else's topic to insert your own agenda. Many reading this new topic wouldn't have known - or cared - about what went on previously, but you just had to keep the spotlight on you.
